Patented July 10, 190B.

Appication 'filed Apr-il 18. 1906. Serial No. 812,449.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that l, Oris F. GARRETSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Elizabeth, in the county ci Union, State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Im rovenients in Feed-Bags for Live Stock; and)l do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact desori )tion of the invention, such as will enable ot ers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention has reiation to feed or nose lbags for feeding horses in the street or other places out of the stable.

It is the object of this invention to rovide Ineens for su porting 1the ba so t at the horse can reao i and eat all of t e rain in the bag, avoiding waste and discorn ort to the animal While feeding.

My invention consists in attaching a leg or support to the center of the bottom of the bag, so that when the horse lowers his head to et at the food the ba will be stopped by the eg and the animal eing able to reach the rain with his li s Will gather a mouthful om the bag an not be inclined to toss his head to have the feed thrown to where he can get at it.

The invention will rst be described in view of the annexed drawings, forming a part of this specification, and then be particularly pointed out in the claim.

Of the said drawin s, Figure is a side elevation of a feedingag upon which i have made my improvements, art being in section. Fig. 2 1s a bottom p an of the same.

In carrying out my invention I provide a feed-ba 5 of usual and satisiactor form, the body o which may be composecrof strong canvas, having a suitable framework A inclosed in horns and fellings of the bag or at tached to the fabric in other proper manner in order that the bag may be maintained in good usable shape.

in the framework A at the bottom of the bag 5 form a suitable socket 6 in a manner that may be satisfactory, and at a centralV Y point, or a point a proximately the center of the bottom of theIbag, as near as possible, so that the said bag may be supported as well as may be, by a single standard or leg extending down from the point of its attachment,

lenth suitable for su )ortin` the be(r a a lill e e proper distance from t ground is iinally provided, which standard has a lateral arm 9 extendinr from its upper end, that terminates in a sniai fork 10, suitable oi being ooped around the screw 7.

in i set the upper end of the standard or leg S in the socket 6 and en age or loop the fork 10 around the shank of the screw 7 and then turn the nut 11 on the thread of the screw, securing the end ofthe arm thereto.

The le or standard 8 may be a bar of iron just tbic enough not to bend under the Weight ofthe bag and its contents.

it is repeated that the bag proper maybe of any satisfactory forni and size and may be provided with a stra or rope 12 to goV over the head or neck oi t e horse to keep the bag in lace.

t is designed to make the supports detachable, so that the device when completed will be readily portable and not more ournbersome than is necessary.

The lateral arni Yon the standard serves to keep the bag from swin ing around on the up er end of the standar-.

t is to be understood that I do not desire to be limited to the exact details of construction Shown and described, for obvious modifications will occur to a person skilled in the art.

What is claimed is- A feed-bag havin? a socket formed in its bottom at a centra point, a screw turned through the bottom at a point to one side of the center, a supporting-standard engaging the socket at its u per end, a lateral arm conneeted at one ons to the standard and extending laterally under the bag, its outer end engaging the shank of said' screw, to which it is suitab y secured,

ii'testimony where-of I aiix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
